I bought a rebuildable CE4 clearomizer around a month ago, and I noticed after vaping on it this morning that it looked like it had warped. A closer inspection showed that the metal piece in the middle below the wicks looked like it was stuck to one side. I had been using it on an Ego Twist at 3.2 volts this morning, but also on an Apoloe Mini battery sometimes. What would have caused this and how can I keep it from happening to my other ones?
Melted clearomizer?

If you haven't been vaping at high voltage then it sounds like a defective ce4 that had a short. If you accidentally vaped at very high voltage it could happen but other than that would just be a defect.
If you had a hard short on an ego, you'd probably have fried the battery. Been using any non-plastic-friendly juices? You said it looked warped, maybe your juice started eating the plastic and the tube warped?
Yep, acidic/citrusy/cinnamon juices will almost certainly melt and crack plastic tanks. I learned this lesson after destroying 4 clearomizers. 
Hmm, caramel mocha doesn't sound like a dangerous juice (but maybe??). Is that the only juice you've used in it? Perhaps it was a juice that was used in it some time before, which began the degradation.
None of those, as far as I know, seem like a juice that would typically degrade polycarbonate. Also 3.2volts is low (even for LR) and shouldn't be warping the plastic. So it's hard to say what happened. So yeah, maybe the clearo was indeed defective. 
If it happens again, we'll have to take a closer look at those juices and devices to make sure nothing wonky is going on.
Hopefully just a fluke!
